Overview
"Power Up the Charging Station" is a request in Pokemon Pokopia, given by Peakychu in Bleak Beach. The central charging station is a large building in the center of town with five indicator bulbs. To fully charge it, you must connect all three generators (Windmill, Furnace, and Water Wheel) using Utility Poles and ensure power is flowing from each one. Once all five bulbs are lit, speaking to Peakychu allows it to use its Illuminate specialty to brighten the entire resort, which is a major step toward completing the Brighten Things Up Important Request.
Request Details
Detail | Info |
|---|---|
Quest Giver | |
Location | Bleak Beach (central charging station) |
Type | General Request |
Reward | Peakychu charges up; major story progression |
Prerequisite | Complete Connect Windmill |
Generator Connections
The charging station has five bulbs that indicate its power level. To light all five, you need to connect all three generators:
Generator | Location | How to Activate |
|---|---|---|
Windmill | Ocean coast (central) | Already active; connect Utility Poles |
Furnace | Southwest side | Burn Lumber and Sturdy Sticks as fuel; Torchic helps operate it; connect Utility Poles |
Water Wheel | Southeast side | Destroy water-blocking blocks to allow water flow; connect Utility Poles |
Walkthrough
Step 1: Connect the Windmill
If you have not already done so during the Connect Windmill request, place Utility Poles from the windmill to the central charging station. This lights up the first one or two indicator bulbs.
Step 2: Activate and Connect the Furnace
Head to the southwest side of Bleak Beach and locate the Furnace. Bring Torchic to help operate it. Feed the Furnace with Lumber or Sturdy Sticks as fuel. Then connect Utility Poles from the Furnace to the central charging station. The Furnace outputs 30 units of power, the highest of any generator.
Step 3: Activate and Connect the Water Wheel
Go to the southeast side of Bleak Beach and find the Water Wheel. The water flow is blocked by debris. Use Rock Smash or break the blocks to let water flow underneath the wheel, activating it. Place Utility Poles to connect the Water Wheel to the central charging station.
Step 4: Verify All Five Bulbs
Check the charging station. All five indicator bulbs should now be lit. This shows that the station is fully powered. If any bulbs are still dark, check your Utility Pole connections for gaps and make sure all three generators are active.
Step 5: Charge Up Peakychu
Speak to Peakychu at the charging station. With all five bulbs active, Peakychu will absorb the energy and use its Illuminate specialty to bring light back to the entire town. This is a dramatic moment in the Bleak Beach storyline.
Rewards
Peakychu charges up: Peakychu regains its electrical power and uses the Illuminate specialty to brighten the resort.
Major bloom point boost: A large number of bloom points are awarded, pushing you significantly closer to the 100-point threshold.
Story progression: This is a critical step in the Brighten Things Up quest chain.
Tips
Make sure you have befriended Torchic before attempting to connect the Furnace. Torchic is needed to operate it.
The Water Wheel requires water to flow underneath it. If water is not flowing, look for blocks or debris upstream that are blocking the current.
Look for blocks with darker circles on the ground. These are the ideal placement spots for Utility Poles and indicate where the original power grid was before the climate crisis.
This request takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes to complete if you have all three generators ready. The Peakychu quest chain as a whole is one of the longer sequences in Bleak Beach.
